2 Samuel 13:14 in context

The verses around it, from 2 Samuel 13.

10 Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the bedroom, so that I may eat it from your hand.” Tamar took the cakes she had made and went to her brother Amnon’s bedroom.

11 And when she had brought them to him to eat, he took hold of her and said, “Come lie with me, my sister!”

12 “No, my brother!” she cried. “Do not humiliate me, for such a thing should never be done in Israel. Do not do this disgraceful thing!

13 Where could I ever take my shame? And you would be like one of the fools in Israel! Please speak to the king, for he will not withhold me from you.”

14 But Amnon refused to listen to her, and being stronger, he violated her and lay with her.

15 Then Amnon hated Tamar with such intensity that his hatred was greater than the love he previously had. “Get up!” he said to her. “Be gone!”

16 “No,” she replied, “sending me away is worse than this great wrong you have already done to me!” But he refused to listen to her.

17 Instead, he called to his attendant and said, “Throw this woman out and bolt the door behind her!”

18 So Amnon’s attendant threw her out and bolted the door behind her. Now Tamar was wearing a robe of many colors, because this is what the king’s virgin daughters wore.
